It’s out! Ello iOS mobile app by Ello.

Some of the desktops functionalities will be ported soon – and it’s going to be even more awesome. If you are a creative or a geek – and would like to be part of an ad-free – no data collection platform (ever!!!)..
Ello is right for you!
There is no equivalent social platform for the conversations + interactions I have every day. People are nice. Really, really nice.
And brilliant as to depth of articles posted and comments passed.
And funny too.
Follow me @cgwarex. I also curate the @ellodesign community.
